Folgate is a dependable English lavender known for its tidy form, strong stems, and rich flower color. It grows into a neat, rounded shrub with soft gray-green foliage and upright flower spikes that hold themselves cleanly above the plant.
Because it maintains such an even shape, Folgate is especially well suited to low hedges, borders, and more formal garden designs. It also excels at harvest time. The stems are long and sturdy, and the compact flower heads retain both color and fragrance exceptionally well when dried.
Folgate establishes quickly, blooms generously, and requires little beyond full sun, good drainage, and adequate spacing. It’s a reliable choice for gardeners who want structure, productivity, and long-term performance.

Top growth varies by variety and season, but every plant arrives well-rooted, actively growing, and ready to plant.
Grown naturally without artificial heat or lights, our plants are hardy, adaptable, and ready to thrive in real garden conditions.
When will my plants ship?
We schedule plant orders based on your area’s average last frost date and when each plant is truly ready to ship. You’ll receive an email with your estimated ship date once your order is scheduled.
